Express Tramline Hasselt-Maastricht

Validation analysis express
tramline 1 Hasselt-Maastricht

The possible construction of an express tramline 1 in Limburg
Hasselt-Maastricht has already been examined in several studies.
First, an analysis was made with the Traffic Model Limburg and its
derivative the Spartacus model that was prepared to make a better
estimate of the attraction of new travellers through the
creation
of the tramline. On the other hand, the transport value of the tramline was examined using model calculations with the multimodal
Municipal Traffic Model of Maastricht.

Currently it is being considered whether the express tramline 1
Hasselt-Maastricht would no longer have its final stop at the station of
Maastricht, but at the Maasboulevard (centre). The question is what the
impact will be on the number of passengers on this line. Therefore, an
additional analysis was made with the Municipal Traffic Model
Maastricht.

Commissioned by De Lijn Limburg, TML
critically screened the various studies. We validated the
estimation results of shortening of the line, with an indication of the certainties and uncertainties in the
estimation of the number of expected travellers.
